I think the solution is to install the Compute Runtime:

https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/releases

I downloaded all deb files from the latest release and installed them:

(.my-env) stefan@stefan-bench:~/Repositories/intel-test$ python
Python 3.14.4 (main, Apr  8 2026, 04:02:31) [GCC 15.2.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> 
>>> 
>>> import torch
>>> 
>>> 
>>> print(f"XPU available: {torch.xpu.is_available()}")
XPU available: True
>>> 
>>>

It seems to work now 🥳

Hi @yintongl ,

do you have any recommendations for getting the B70 working locally on Ubuntu 26.04?

I tried to follow these steps, but there are no Ubuntu 26.04 packages in the ppa.

I installed some Intel packages:

sudo apt install -y libze-dev intel-ocloc
sudo apt install intel-opencl-icd

and PyTorch using

uv pip install torch torchvision torchaudio torchao --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/xpu --no-cache-dir

However:

print(f"XPU available: {torch.xpu.is_available()}")

unfortunately outputs:

/home/stefan/Repositories/intel-test/.my-env/lib/python3.14/site-packages/torch/xpu/__init__.py:68: UserWarning: XPU device count is zero! (Triggered internally at /pytorch/c10/xpu/XPUFunctions.cpp:113.)
  return torch._C._xpu_getDeviceCount()
XPU available: False

Is my system missing some Intel packages?
